January 2021 – Round up of new feeds in the DCR
At the end of last year, the first mental health records from Dorset HealthCare were made available to health and social care professionals. Demographic information, which includes the name, date of birth, address, next of kin, NHS number and ethnicity of Dorset residents, along with inpatient and outpatient details were included in the package. It followed the introduction of the first community physical health data which went live from DHC in October 2020.
Meanwhile, in November 2020, adult referrals from Dorset Council were added, expanding the amount of social care information available on the DCR. We hope the move will be particularly helpful to other health professionals, who will be able to see details of when older people, informal carers or younger adults with learning difficulties, visual impairment of physical impairment have been referred.
